I Will Keep On Going Down This Path

"Let me teach you about it now quickly because it is really getting late. "Tang Le hurried.

"Asurava is the technique to absorb and control outer darka."

Yang Cheng En then asked Tang Le a question. "Where does outer darka come from actually?"

"Outer darka is produced when all the leaked inner darka form every living being are converted into outer darka by darka conversion." Tang Le hurriedly answers the question.

Yang Cheng En then raises his hand and said. "New question what is darka conversion? You know every answer you give creates a new question right?"

"Darka conversion is a process where leaked inner darka fuse with the energy produced from the non-living things like the sun, sea or the wind and much more non-living things to produce outer darka, done?"

"Done. "Yang Cheng En just smiled.

"As you know outer darka is not related to inner darka, so we can use it as much as we want as long as you still have enough darka in your dantian."

"People who do not learn asurava do not have any outer darka flowing in their body, only inner darka that was constantly being released."

"When a person successfully learn asurava his body will undergo a change and that person can absorb outer darka into their body."

"A person body will experience a slight change in their blood vessels."

"Their blood vessels will expand and become tougher compared to normal people."

"People who can only absorb outer darka are called imperfect cultivators and they only get a boost in physical strength."

"When they can control their darka to flow within their blood vessels then they are true cultivators."

"To use asurava you first must go through three stages."

"The first stage is the gathering stage; by absorbing the darka around us into our body we take the first step on the path of cultivation."

"The second stage is the controlling stage, by controlling the flow of darka in our body and manipulating it to our will we reach the next stage on our cultivation."

"The third stage is obtaining stage when we perfected both of this skills we can finally make a final push to expand our blood vessels once last time, finally we are considered true cultivators."

"After the third stage, there is nothing else."

Yang Cheng En face is full of shock when he heard this. "Nothing else?"

"No saints, no martial this and that, no elementary, nascent, king god, nothing?!"Yang Cheng En exclaimed.

Tang Le sighs to himself and then said: "This isn't a novel with a bunch of difficult cultivation ranks to memorize, this is real life."

"So how can I start to absorb darka into my body? "Yang Cheng En asked excitedly at Tang Le.

Tang Le calms Yang Cheng En down first before he continues to explain about asurava to him.

"To absorb darka into the body a person first must break your heart and release a little bit of inner darka into your body."

"The inner darka will work as a key and help you expand your blood vessels for the first time, after that you will gain the ability to absorb darka and from there onward you will slowly absorb darka into your body to keep on expanding your blood vessels."

"The large the blood vessels we have the higher the amount of darka a cultivator can use, but the process of expanding the blood vessels is very painful and time-consuming."

"When you gain enough darka you can start to direct the darka around your body."

"We cultivators call this spirit flow, there are two types of spirit flow the first is basic flow, the darka in your body flows within your blood vessels and are evenly spread throughout your body."

"The second is called specialize flow, the darka that is in the body are not evenly spread instead it is concentrated in a few places of the body this will boost the power of the body part that has a higher concentration of darka the most common example is the leg so cultivators can run faster or jump higher.'

"When you can freely control the flow of darka inside your body you must control the darka within your blood vessels to push the walls of the blood vessels for it to expand one last time after that it is almost impossible to increase the size of your blood vessels again."

"Remember do not get too greedy when expanding your blood vessels for the final time, this is because there might be a risk where you would accidentally use too much force when pushing your blood vessels outward and die from your blood vessels bursting."

"When you have completed all three stages you are considered a real cultivator."

Then Yang Cheng En with a puzzled look on his face asked.

"What about those monsters in the wild? I heard people say they also can use asurava."

"Those 'monsters' are called soul creatures and they are not limited to animals. Plants can also be soul creatures. "Tang Le answered indifferently.

"Soul creatures use to be normal plants and animals, but some of them are able to absorb outer darka naturally and by their natural instinct to survive in this cruel world they are able to forcefully change their bodies with darka to become stronger in order to live."

"They are not actually using asurava instead they control the darka within their bodies to merge with their body to make it tougher, some humans are also trying to replicate what soul creatures are doing."

"To non-cultivators, they are monsters strong, ferocious and dangerous. But to cultivators, we can fight with them toe to toe due to a cultivator's ability to use asurava."

Tang Le then stretches his body and said to Yang Cheng En. "That is all to it, we can go now."

Tang Le then stops and looks at Yang Cheng En for a little while.

"What is the matter? "Yang Cheng En asked curiously.

"Kid I hope you are serious about this. "Tang Le asked seriously.

"Of course I am serious about this, why are you asking this type of question suddenly? "Yang Cheng En also got serious.

"I am just afraid that you will run away again. "Tang Le then sits down on the ground looking at the golden sky that the sun paints before it sets.

"If I run away you know where to find me, just like you did every time. "Yang Cheng En also sits beside Tang Le looking at the sunset.

"That is not what I mean, what I mean is you won't run away just like what you did with sword fighting. "Tang Le then picks up a small pebble and throws it into the sky.

"Life has its ups and downs just like this pebble when I throw it into the sky it might just reach its highest point in its life but when it falls down it will not return to the same place it uses to be."

"Before your mother died you love your sword until the point that you can't sleep with it at night, but after that you starts to hate your sword to you that sword is nothing more than a knife that could be used to cut vegetables."

"The path of cultivation is hard and treacherous you will suffer a lot more setbacks, I rather have you never start than giving up half way." Tang Le said his hands grab the pebble that he had just thrown into the sky.

Yang Cheng En stands up and grab a pebble from the ground and throws it far away, he then open his mouth and says. "I will keep going down this path, your pebble may never fall to the same place twice but mine will keep going forward no matter what."

Tang Le nods in satisfaction as he looks at Yang Cheng En, the little boy that he had looked after all this years might had already grown up without anyone noticing.

"Let's go home." Tang Le then leaves with Yang Cheng En under the setting sun.
